SINGLE DIGITS

WE FINALLY HIT THE SINGLE DIGITS, AND WE ARE IN WEEK #9. NINE WEEKS TO GO TILL OUR SUMMER ADVENTURES BEGIN.

WE’VE HAD THE MOST WONDERFUL WEATHER HERE IN THE MOHAVE VALLEY THIS WINTER WITH “SUNNY & 80” DAYS IN FEB. IT’S AT LEAST A MONTH EARLY. GREAT FOR MARY AND HER MORNING HIKES ON THE DESERT, AND FOR REX IT’S A LOT OF TIME ON THE SCOOTER.

LAST MONDAY WE SAT DOWN FOR A MEETING (COCKTAILS ON HE PORCH), AND STARTED OUR PLANS FOR THE BIG MOVE TO THE MOUNTAIN AND OUR ENDLESS LISTS OF THINGS TO BE DONE AND STUFF TO PACK.

WEIGHT LOSS

REMEMBER THAT NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION TO LOSE 40 POUNDS?  MY GOAL WAS TO LOSE TWO POUNDS A WEEK. SO FAR I’VE BEEN SUCCESSFUL EACH WEEK EXCEPT FOR ONE, AND HAVE LOST 15 OF THE 40 LBS.  THE EXTRA WEIGHT COMES FROM EATING AT WORK EVERYDAY WHERE THEY HAVE A HELP YOURSELF BUFFET LINE, AND A DESSERT TABLE PILED HIGH WITH DONUTS AND COOKIES. I’VE STAYED AWAY FROM THE COOKIES AND HAVE BEEN MAKING MYSELF A SANDWICH AND SALAD BAR INSTEAD OF HITTING THE BUFFET LINE. IT WAS SO EASY TO SNAGG A COOKIE OR TWO EVERY BREAK AND THE WEIGHT JUST PILED ON.

VEGAS BABY

LAS VEGAS IS MY FAVORITE PLACE ON THE PLANET. WE HAVEN’T BEEN TO PLAY AND STAY THERE SINCE LAST MAY, BUT IN WEEK # 5 WE HAVE A THREE DAY RESERVATION TO STAY DOWTOWN AT “THE D” AND MEET UP WITH OUR OLE FRIEND MIKEY FROM PRAIRE DU CHEIN. I CAN SEE SMOK’IN, DRINK’IN, AND GAMBLIN WITH BOTH HANDS IN OUR FUTURE.

SPRING BREAK

THEN IN WEEK #2 IT’S THE LAST SPRING BREAK WITH MY GRANDSONS BEFORE THEY MOVE OFF TO DAYTON, OHIO.

 

SPRING IS IN THE AIR AND GOOD TIMES ARE COMING !!!
